In your letter Say why he/she would not enjoy going to college Explain why getting a job is a good idea for him/her Suggest types of job that would be suitable for him/her

Dear John, Hope you're doing well ! A couple of days back, I received your letter and understood that you are confused to opt between a

job

and a graduate study. I'm just writing to express my point of view that pursuing a

job

will be the right choice to choose at

this

juncture of your life. By the way, I came to know that your parents retired, and I'm sure that

this

has put your family in a tough spot with respect to financial matters. If you push yourself to attend college, knowing you all these years, I'm sure that thoughts about money would loom over your mind and wouldn't allow you to perform well at the college. On top of that, I could sense a phenomenal increase in the college fee for

this

academic year. Considering the current factors, I'd suggest you save some money before you plan for a graduate study. Not only it would help with your educational aspirations, but

also

to support your family needs.

Also

, your

job

experience might add value when applying for higher studies. All things considered, I'd suggest you locate a

job

in the automobile industry. During our visit to Florida

last

year, you helped an aged couple with their car problem. I vividly remembered that incident and was truly fascinated by your automobile skills.

Thus

, I feel that you will be a natural fit for an automobile mechanic. Hope

this

helps. Just reply to me when you can! No rush! Best, Subbu
